Overview

• A jury convicted Daniel Krug in April 2025 of first-degree murder, stalking and criminal impersonation, and he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
• Investigators said the supposed stalker was a persona Krug created using burner phones, messages tied to his workplace IP addresses, scheduled texts from his wife's phone and disabled home cameras including tape over a Ring doorbell.
• Detectives reported finding internet searches the night before the killing about causing unconsciousness, which prosecutors presented alongside other digital forensics at trial.
• Kristil Krug had reported the harassment to Broomfield police in October 2023 and maintained a detailed log, with body-camera video capturing her fears weeks before her death.
• Kristil was found in her Broomfield garage on Dec. 14, 2023, after a welfare check requested by her husband, and Krug has since told ABC's 20/20 he maintains his innocence and plans to appeal, as the program aired a Sept. 26 feature on the case.
